What is Cloud Migration Services?

Cloud migration is a process of moving a company’s digital assets like data, applications, and IT resources, from traditional on-premises infrastructure to a cloud-based environment. It is not the process of data movement but rather a whole transformation that articulates a new way in which businesses can be carried out, harnessing the power of cloud. Whether there is a need for scalability, cost efficiency, performance optimization, enhanced security, cloud migration enables organizations to modernizing their IT landscape.

Benefits of Cloud Migration:

Reduced Costs:

No more expensive hardware or maintenance fees. You pay as you go, and resources are billed according to flexible, on-demand pricing.

Unmatched Scalability:

Scale resources up or down to meet fluctuating demands and ensure demands are not under- or over-provisioned infrastructure again.

Enhanced Agility and Flexibility:

Rapid deployment and management of applications that help innovate and accelerate time-to-market for new products and Cloud services.

Improved Security:

Leading cloud providers implement robust security measures, which include data encryption, identity and access management, and compliance with industry standards.

At CloudSens, we understand that one-size-fits-all approaches doesn’t work. We work closely with you to develop a customized cloud migration strategy that aligns with your specific goals and infrastructure. We offer a range of migration methods, including:

Rehosting (Lift and Shift):

This approach, with minimum changes, lets the applications and data be relocated to the cloud quickly, hence enhancing performance and saving costs.

Cost Savings:

Refactoring:

Refactoring the applications to fully leverage the cloud-native capabilities such as autoscaling, serverless computing; this enhances flexibility, performance, and scalability.

Repurchasing:

Acquiring new, often SaaS-based, products that will replace existing applications to simplify operations and decrease maintenance overhead.

Retiring:

The approach of unifying identification and retiring of outdated applications reduces IT complexity and brings cost reduction.

Retaining:

Some applications may need to stay on-premises because of regulatory or technical reasons, whereas the rest of the IT environment migrates to the cloud.
